Following her undergraduate studies, Marie worked in the homelessness sector supporting vulnerable adults in supported accommodation before pursuing an MSc in Mental Health and Clinical Psychology.

In order to best support those struggling with eating disorders, she has undergone further training in enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT-E) and gained experience in delivering specialised CBT for eating disorders (CBT-T) and the Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults (MANTRA). Marie is committed to her continued development as an integrative practitioner drawing from a range of approaches to offer her clients a tailored treatment plan that takes into account individual needs, goals, and preferences.  

Marie appreciates the importance of the wider context, and the systems a person lives in. She aims to offer a welcoming and safe therapeutic environment to people from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life. She recognises the importance of acknowledging and respecting difference, and educates herself on issues relating to diversity and social justice. In addition to her clinical work, she has designed and delivered seminars on the undergraduate psychology programme at City, University of London.
